Robert Loggia starred in the B Cop Hater
A film adaptation of Ed McBain's first 86th Precinct novel. The book is better.

As others have stated he will probably be best remembered for "Easy Rider" and "Ulee's Gold" (he came closest to channeling his father here). I have long been searching for "Two People" a 1973 Robert Wise film co starrring Lindsay Wagner, I hope it becomes available.
A trivia note-he had inspired John Lennon to write the lyrics for the Beatles' song "She Said She Said. While on an LSD trip with Lennon, Fonda kept saying "I know what it's like to be dead".

This is because the Universal horror films of the 1930s on TV got me into being a film buff. Whenever someone mentions a movie studio it is always the first one that comes to mind.

The Emigrants (1971) 7/10
A poor Swedish farm family embark on a journey to America in the 1840s.
I liked this one, fine work by Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullmann, nice cinematography. Some slow scenes on their Swedish farm. Things pick up when they get on a harrowing journey by sea. You feel like you are on the ship with them, you can almost smell the stench and feel the lice crawling. The sequel, "The New Land" followed this on TCM yesterday but I did not feel I could spend another 3 1/2 hours on this but someday I hope to see it when in the mood.

I liked this one a lot. A very close intimate look into the lives of Bergman and Ullmann and it holds nothing back. In many scenes, Liv clearly tries to hold back tears when thinking about how much she misses Bergman and how much they fought while also recollecting the happier times they had together. With segments titled "rage" and "loneliness" the documentary did not gloss over their fighting. There was also a bit of self-deprecating humor from Liv Ullmann on Lost Horizon and being compared to Greta Garbo going to Hollywood - "I did what Garbo never did. I bankrupted two studios."
This was an interesting one and I'm glad it was shown.
I saw most of the first half, missed some of the second half, I am hoping it would be On Demand so I can see the rest of it.
The beginning was beautifully filmed and Ullmann's monologues are at times hypnotic, the whole thing was affecting me just like a Bergman film. I constantly focus on her beautiful, blue sad eyes.

Choose who you would have voted for from the actual nominees with your reason why.
THE NOMINEES
Frank Capra for "Mr Smith Goes To Washington"
Victor Fleming for "Gone With The Wind"*
John Ford for "Stagecoach"
Sam Wood for "Goodbye Mr Chips"
William Wyler for "Wuthering Heights"
*=actual winner
I had to think awhile on this one. GWTW is such a great film and achievement but once I just thought about the direction I have to give it to Ford. He was able to make a very tense, engrossing drama in mostly cramped quarters. He also gets great performances from every member of the ensemble cast. It also has one of my favorite surprise/shock moments when an arrow suddenly gets shot into the stagecoach.

Blood of Dracula had a female vampire who looked like Eddie Munster with outlandish eyebrows and sharp teeth.
I always liked this one, it's basically the same story as "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" but with females.
It scared me a kid, I hid my eyes so I could not see what she looked like when she transformed into the vampire.

So, why is a movie about such bleak circumstances not more depressing?
I believe because the movie has many comedic moments. Joe and Ratso banter back and forth for some laughs. Joe's encounter with a crazed religious fanatic (John McGiver) is hilarious. Sylvia Miles is also very funny as the mouthy middle aged call girl.
Some spoilers ahead if you haven't seen it...
I have heard many people say that the ending is depressing but I don't feel that way. Ratso is out of his misery from the crippled body and diseased lungs and Joe suddenly realizes that hustling is no way to make a living. I find it to be a hopeful ending.
It is one of my favorites as well, I just rewatched my DVD a few weeks ago and I also sometimes put it at number 1, (though that changes) but always in my top 5.
